Badshah

Went here for dinner as a large group (9 people) and had reservations and were seated right away upon an on-time arrival. The place is relatively small so reservations highly recommended if you are going here as a large group. First off, what stands out is their excellent service and the pace at which food kept coming out from their kitchen. The average turn around time was less than 3 minutes! We ordered a few cocktails which are priced around $16, and mine included Bubbly Maharani. The description and names are very catchy, but the drinks itself fail to live up to those expectations. We ordered just one round and that was it. Our appetizers included a couple of things including a Kale & Moong Chaat ($10), Chutney & Cheese Charcuterie Board ($28), and Keema Pao ($14). Appetizers were good. For mains, I got the Hyderabadi Biryani - Vegetarian ($24) and our table got the mutton one. My review is specifically for the vegetarian biryani which flavor wise was good, had generous portions of cauliflower, carrots, and small bites of paneer (3 small cubes). The pricing is definitely off and $24 for a veggie biryani with a small portion is ridiculous. Friendly staff, decent food, but definitely an overpriced menu.

One of the best Indian restaurants in NYC I must say and I am Indian . Food is very authentic to our roots. We were a large group and they were able to cater us. We ordered bunch of appetizers and drinks at first . They all came out pretty fast . Followed it with our Main Course and it was out pretty quick as well . The servers eyeballed everything. It was overall a great experience. Ambiance - 10/10 Love the Art Work Service - 10/10 On Point Happy Hour - Yes WiFi- Yes , they even have portable chargers

Now that was a great surprise! All of the amazing flavor and aroma of traditional Indian without the heaviness. A mixture of savory, tangy, and subtly sweet, we loved every dish on the tasting menu. And the cocktails were creative without being annoying and pretentious. A great spot - highly recommend.

One of the best Indian food I had in NYC. Everything we ate here was really good. Don’t miss the cauliflower, boneless tandoori chicken (usually very good but this time was disappointing) and the famous naan bread. This is not your average Indian restaurant, prices are higher than usual but you can feel the different in food quality. Also, there is always an available table. The place can be a little bit noisy and the overall ambience is not right for the price point. The atmosphere and the decor feels too casual.
